Name:alphaflyer

Movieverse, Comicverse, or both? mostly MCU, the occasional foray into comics (snippets of back story, some ficlets)

How many times have you seen Avengers? What about Winter Soldier?: Avengers? Man, we're in the double digits here. Starting with 2 ... (I think). My daughter commented the other day how I make everyone who comes to stay at our house watch it, if they haven't already ... Plus, it's on my lap top and I spend a lot of time on planes! As for CA:TWS, three times. And counting!

What brings you to the Clint/Natasha ship?: life-damaged, government-sanctioned assassins with smart mouths and fabulous chemistry. What's not to love?

Any other ships/fandoms you want to share?: I also write Star Trek:Voyager (mostly Tom Paris/B'Elanna Torres, but occasionally Paris/Janeway -- more plot driven, less 'shippy'. When there is a relationship focus in those stories, it tends to be on the "relating" part, not the "shipping" part.

What about C/N do you like best?: The trust, respect, mutual reliance and equality in their relationship. The raw chemistry. Clint's arms. The glint in Natasha's eyes when she's talking to him. Did I mention Clint's arms?


ETA these two things (which I didn't have time to do before):

Share your favorite head canon:
Clint lives on top of a Chinese takeout. He could (and does, when home) eat Chinese food, like, ALL THE TIME. Also, he reads a lot on boring stakeouts, because he's painfully aware of his lack of education and all those PhD types around him. Natasha is still learning how to do things for fun, rather than for a purpose.
Rec a fic, graphic, vid, meta, etc. and explain why you liked it.:
Come Near (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1014611), by topaz is my favourite after-New York fic. It deals with both Clint and Natasha's PTSD issues in a smart and adult manner, plus they finally get together.
What should a potential new friend know about you/your LJ and/or what are you looking for in an LJ friend?:My favourite LJ friends are the ones who make me think thinky thoughts about food, writing, fandom, and occasionally the relation of the latter to the Real World, especially the one I work in (international security). I also like having the sense that you have a life outside fandom, and to get a sense of that. I've met the most interesting people through fandom!!


Myself, I don't just post fannish things, but some personal stuff -- albeit within limits, to preserve some semblance of internet anonymity and job security. Brace yourself for picspam from various trips! I am a failure at technology, so expect no cool gifs or things like that -- those love to steal collect from people far more competent than myself.

Friending policy?:If I know you based on exchanges in this comm or on AO3, I will be happy to friend you back, if you would like to friend me.

Anything else you want to add?: I LOVE THIS BAR!!!!

Hello! I would like picspam of various trips! I had to abandon my personal LJ for various unpleasant reasons, so I lost most of my travel friends and I would like ot have some back. Friends?

I added you back! :-)

There's a "travel" tag in my LJ that will take you to Japan, Jordan and Thailand/Cambodia as the entries for this year. :-)
